Posted October 21, 201212 yr Hi all, This is my last creation, the Crystal Palace, a MOC based on a building that you can find if you visit Madrid, Spain.
October 21, 201212 yr This is so bizarre! I was thinking about doing this the other day haha! But this is amazing. It is absolutely gold. Is it at all stable?
October 21, 201212 yr The entrance is really well done. The way you have done the columns, the colour combination and the use of the spindled fences gives it a nice old Grecian feel. The multiple steps make it look very grand, too. I do think though that there is too much transparency in the main part of the building. I think it would benefit from more solid pieces to frame sections of the transparent ones, like a frame to hold the large glass sections.
October 22, 201212 yr This is gorgeous! With some proper lighting, this crystal palace could shine beautifully. I agree that at first glance, it seems to have too much transparency. I googled the photo of the real Crystal Palace in Spain. It does have more frames in the second floor.
October 22, 201212 yr Wow, this is breathtaking. I agree with the others that on the second level it needs more arches, or at least some slivers of solid colour between the large windows to counteract the long band of transparency. But I'm just being picky. I think your build is amazing.
October 22, 201212 yr That looks superb. All those transparent pieces definitely create the look of glass. The roof looks spectacular, nice work.
October 22, 201212 yr Will you be bringing this one to Barcelona in November, for the annual HispaLUG Expo¿? -Of course it would be very unfortunate for you, as nobody will notice this small palace situated just next to my mighty MegaMOC! ;-) (hehe, just kidding...)
October 22, 201212 yr This is really clever, the upper section is great and of course the front too. I could be interesting to see more frame, but as I saw on my research on Google it is really similar, in all the forms. Well done.
October 22, 201212 yr Author Yep, Hoex, it will be in the Hispalug Expo and hopefully just by your Mega Moc. I've chosen to use more and more trans and reduce framework to minimum because the white hinges already make lines. I just wanted to build something transparent and taking the challenge of building a structure without tricks using a light but solid and stable structure. The moc is completed with a pond in front of it and I'll probably add some modern style sculptures because the real building is a museum.
October 23, 201212 yr All that trans-clear! That really looks neat, I love the pillars in front especailly! Great job!
October 23, 201212 yr Very cool, original, building dongo! This is really something unique to display, I like it a lot
